Backspot

This is the person in a cheerleading stunt (school or

allstar/competition) who stands behind the stunt and holds the

flyers butt/ankle/thighs and controls the stunt, counts, keeps it

from falling, and saves the flyer from breaking herself(if nessecary).
In cheerleading the backspot is very important but most people do not give them enough credit.

Backspot

"Backspot" is a position in cheerleading, where they stand behind the stunt group. The main responsibilities of the backspot are to stabilize the stunt and protect the flyer.
When the flyer was about to fall, the backspot was ready to catch her and prevent injury.
